Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups chicken Cooked and shredded
  • 1 can green chilies
  • 1 can tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 8 pieces tortillas
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese Shredded
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 package Velveeta cheese Cut into cubes

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, green chilies, tomatoes with green chilies, taco seasoning, and half the cheddar cheese.
  3. Spread some sour cream on the bottom of a baking dish.
  4. Fill each tortilla with the chicken mixture, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Top the enchiladas with the remaining sour cream and Velveeta cheese.
  6. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Serve hot from the oven. Add fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, or sliced jalapeños on top. Offer sides like rice, beans, or a simple salad. A squeeze of lime brightens the flavors.

Notes

Use cooked shredded or chopped chicken from a rotisserie bird to save time. Warm tortillas slightly before filling to prevent cracking. Cut Velveeta into cubes to help it melt evenly. Taste the filling before rolling and add a pinch of salt if needed.
